Choose the Right Venue

Decorate in Line with the Theme
The decor is critical when it comes to creating a cohesive rustic-themed wedding. Focus on softer hues such as sand, ivory, blush, coral, soft greens, and light blues through your floral arrangements, place cards, linens, table settings, or invitations. Wood and metal adornments like lanterns, barrels, signs, twine-wrapped vases, and burlap accents add an authentic country touch. If you aim for something more romantic, use candles, string lights, fairy tale flowers (peonies, garden roses, dahlias), old books, lace runners, and vintage tableware. Stay moderate with the props; subtle touches make an event more refined and elegant.
Consider the Dress Code
Rustic attire should blend in flawlessly with nature. Keep it simple and comfortable while adding texture to the fabrics. For females, a flowy gown featuring intricate lacework or organza will match this theme’s free-spirited vibe. Similarly, men can opt for suits that embrace earth tones or suspenders worn with rolled-up sleeves and a patterned vest.
Plan Food and Drinks Accordingly
Food plays a significant role in every wedding, and rustic weddings are no exception. Serve up BBQ’ed stuff like pulled pork or beef brisket that’s complemented by side dishes such as cornbread, mac & cheese, or roasted vegetables to give your menu a down-home feel. Although country-style meals are the norm, you can always add some refined touches with bold flavors or eclectic combinations (for example, Pan-Seared Trout paired with Lemon Rosemary Chicken). As a drink option, buy beer from a local brewery or refreshments like sweet tea and lemonade, or if you’re looking for something more elegant, consider champagne fountains or signature cocktail drinks.
Get Creative with Entertainment
Finally, choose activities that get guests into the spirit of the celebration. You can hire a bluegrass band, square dancing caller, develop lawn games such as badminton or horseshoes, or rent vintage photo booths complete with fun props. Alternatively, a campfire late at night with smores might be an excellent way to wrap things up during these events.
